Mike loved the Lord, his family and friends. He graduated from Meadowbrook High School in 1986 and went on to get his bachelor's degree, Doctorate of Physiology, and Master of Science.

Mike dug flint with his friend Roy Miller and made jewelry in his rock shop known as "Flint Ridge Gems". He was active at the Semi Annual "Flint Knapp In", that was attended by fellow flint knappers from around the country. He liked rock music and playing along on his guitars.
